[QUOTE="EWC3, post: 3716783, member: 93416"]I am less sure that the main aim of this volume is to unpick profound problems for the benefit of the general reader. In the professionalised atmosphere of modern academic life, this looks to me more like an opportunity for individuals to pad out their CV’s with short and very specialised papers. I judge the price tag reflects the fact that Brill are aware of this and did not expect many sales. Note the account of the contents here [URL]https://brill.com/view/title/12458?lang=en[/URL] Thick with typing errors! Brill did not even bother to run a spell checker through it I once discussed these matters with Marion Archibald. I remember her as an erudite, thoughtful and attentive critic. Rob T[/QUOTE]
